Ash Platter 22x3 cm

This platter was made from a ca. 100-yr-old Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) which stood
in
a farmyard lawn in Cults, Aberdeen. Over the years the tree had been regurlarly
'toplopped' (a bad practice which unfortunately still perseveres) and its appearance had
deteriorated.
A small natural cavity (bottom lhs) extents into the back of this platter
(not visible in the photographs).
